A mechanic with the Belgian Air Force was servicing an aircraft when he accidentally opened fire on another F-16 jet fighter sitting on the tarmac, destroying it, local media reported this week.
The incident occurred on Belgium’s Florennes Air Force Base Thursday, according to multiple media reports.
Scramble, a Dutch aviation magazine, posted pictures of what appears to be the burned out aircraft Friday. The Belgian Air Force confirmed the aircraft was burned to a husk, but did not confirm how the fire was started.
